I tried putting the PARI source in the install directory and it still failed miserably. And it would only bother me in a minor way if it was a single machine, but I can't get this to work on any of my machines.

I'm not sure if Net::SSH2 will do the task I want. I was hoping Net::SSH::Perl would have better luck. I probably start another thread on what I'm doing specifically and the issues I'm getting. But the jist is that my remote connection does a newgrp which execs another shell (I have no control over this) and it's giving Net::SSH* all sorts of issues.
